The Closed Doors

The Closed Doors — Risen Archive comic no. 007. Panel 1. the boy pushes at a door that will not move. I’ve had doors in my life that wouldn’t open no matter how hard I tried. Panel 2. he hammers at a wall of doors, dynamite at his feet. I knocked I prayed I knocked harder And I prayed harder. And. Still nothing… Panel 3. a small figure beside a door that opens onto a cliff edge. Years later I finally understood what God was protecting me from. Panel 4. a maze seen from high above. Walking in faith feels like moving through a maze. You can’t see where each turn leads, But the One leading you sees it from above. Panel 5. the boy walks down a long alley lined with doors. It’s still not easy. But.. it gives me hope knowing that the maze I’m in will pass too like it did before. Closing card: “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 ESV What maze are you in right now?
